Fond as I am of verbosity, I rarely draw wordless comics, but Dwight’s selected theme was an exciting opportunity to try something I don’t usually do, while paying homage to visual gags developed by such cartooning greats as Charles Schulz and Bill Watterson. It’s an homage! It’s not a rip-off!

For a followup cartoon of Dwight as a clueless patron lord demanding that I fulfill his every whim, become a $5+/month supporter on the SC Patreon! I will subject myself and my characters to all sorts of indignities in order to get your money. Around here we’re all about value.

Dwight Knoll sponsored this strip on the Sketch Comedy Patreon, selecting a parody-and-fair-use-style appearance from Totoro as his theme. Moreover, this comic was co-written by SC Patron Robert Gryfft, who at my request wrote his own lines for his appearance in this strip!

I technically got back from vacation yesterday, but it was super-late in the evening. Thanks again to Brian Russell and Jim Cleaveland for their guest strips last week. I’ll have a new strip next Monday with an important announcement!
